Summary
It's impossible not to notice him, a shiny beacon of light that could rival the stars that abandoned this city a long time ago. And Haruka, who isn’t that different from all these faceless strangers, let himself get drawn to Makoto’s light like a moth to a flame and dragged him right into the spotlight for the whole world to ogle.
During one of their live shows, Haruka kisses Makoto on stage right in front of the audience.

Summary
Haru has been given a break from official swim practices for a few weeks—now, Haru doesn't have to swim with anyone else but Makoto. For. Weeks. When that fact alone brings up some particular old memories, Haru is unable to shake them from his mind...
“...I’m also happy that we can swim together more, but that isn’t what I meant. I mean it’s like…it’s like when we were in high school…and the pool would close for the winter…”

Summary
They were simple. Blissfully uncomplicated. And that’s just how they liked their relationship to be.
There was a beautiful simplicity to the way they talked and interacted with each other. Small gestures of fingers and the tilting of chins giving away everything running through the mind of the other, understood easily by them, but a completely foreign language to anyone else. Understandable, because those gestures were often unaccompanied by spoken words. They were often asked how it worked at all, and they would look at each other and shrug, and Makoto would say, “We understand each other” as if that explained everything. And for them, it did. It made sense.

Summary
Makoto is as he ever was, selfless and considerate to the point of annoyance, with no words or actions to suggest he wants anyone (Haruka or otherwise) in that way.
Haruka cares about Makoto enough to be content as is, but he can’t help but wonder.

Summary
Reki knows his soulmate's name is Langa, but also knows it's very unlikely that snowboarding star Langa Hasegawa is his soulmate. Still, he keeps up on news about the guy and when he learns that Langa's father was killed in an accident, he starts sending him letters. Drawings, really, that he can't admit to himself are love letters. He just hopes they brighten Langa's day, if he's receiving them at all.
Everything gets turned upside-down, however, when that same Langa Hasegawa suddenly transfers to Reki's school. It'll make giving him the anonymous love letters a bit easier, though...
